Lector Installation
Out of the goodness of your hearts, I beseech your prayers as I will be installed a Lector of the Roman Catholic Church tomorrow on the Feast of the Annunciation by my beloved Bishop, the Most Rev. Roger J. Foys. Though no longer treated as a minor order :'(, only men en route to the Orders can be installed a Lector and will serve as another significant stage as I progress, with the Grace of God Almighty, to Holy Orders.
Pope in Mexico
First...I can not express how AWESOME this is...
Let us keep our beloved pope in our prayers and he visits such a violence-torn country and may his presence amongst the people of God in México prove to be an inspiration to re-energize their faith and grow in holiness.

St. Joseph, the model of masculine piety
Happy Feast of St. Joseph!!!!!
On this the Feast of the Blessed Spouse of the Holy Virgin and Foster Child of the Incarnate Word, I wish to focus briefly on one of his titles; St. Joseph, the Terror of Demons!
The first time I heard of this was running around Montreal with Fr. Roy on a Saint Andre pilgrimage to the Oratory of St. Joseph in Montreal. Now not much has really been written on (that I know of) so bear with me...

Don't Mess with Texas
Today is also the independence day of the greatest republic in the union...TEXAS!!!
Now I need to note that it is also an Ember Day so what to do...penance and fast or celebration and feast????!?!?!?!?!?!?
Yet, the infamous cholo gerardi alerted me to the longstanding Texas Independence Indult?! It's a First Class feast for all Texans! no fasts of any sort!!! As he notes, Bl. Pius IX, in his Motu Proprio entitled Texas Badassico stated, "I'd better let those people eat meat on Friday, because I don't want any trouble."

On Intellectual formation
Salvete and Happy Ember Friday
One of the things I have been contemplating recently is the question of intellectual formation in a program for priestly formation. To set the stage, however, it is important to look at how seminary formation came about and the reasons for it.
